2009-2014 Ford F-150 Fitment Guide: Bolt Pattern & Tire Sizes
July 1, 2026
2009-2014 Ford F-150 Fitment Guide
Quick Answer
Every 2009-2014 Ford F-150 runs a 6x135 mm bolt pattern with an 87.1 mm hub bore and M14x2.0 lug nuts torqued to 150 lb-ft. That covers 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 alike. Stock tire sizes run from 235/75R17 to 275/45R22, and a 285/55R20 (about 32.3") is the proven ceiling on stock suspension.
So you own, or just picked up, a 2009-2014 Ford F-150. These twelfth generation trucks have aged into one of the best value builds on the road: cheap to buy, easy to fit, and they wear big wheels like they were born for it. This guide covers the exact bolt pattern and lug specs for every year, what came stock on each trim, how big you can go at every suspension height, and the setups already proven on real customer trucks.
F-150 Wheel Specs by Year (2009-2014)
Ford held these numbers steady across the entire twelfth generation. A 2013 uses the same specs as a 2010:
| Year | Bolt Pattern | Hub Bore | Lug Nuts | Torque |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 F-150 | 6x135 mm | 87.1 mm | M14x2.0 | 150 lb-ft |
| 2010 F-150 | 6x135 mm | 87.1 mm | M14x2.0 | 150 lb-ft |
| 2011 F-150 | 6x135 mm | 87.1 mm | M14x2.0 | 150 lb-ft |
| 2012 F-150 | 6x135 mm | 87.1 mm | M14x2.0 | 150 lb-ft |
| 2013 F-150 | 6x135 mm | 87.1 mm | M14x2.0 | 150 lb-ft |
| 2014 F-150 | 6x135 mm | 87.1 mm | M14x2.0 | 150 lb-ft |
Bolt pattern and lug pattern mean the same thing here: six lugs on a 135 mm circle. If you've ever wondered how to double-check it yourself, our bolt pattern guide shows you in two minutes.
Ford changed the lug nut thread from M14x2.0 to M14x1.5 in 2015. Wheels swap freely between generations, but lug nuts do not: 2015+ nuts will not thread correctly onto your studs, and forcing them is how studs get ruined. Buying used wheels? Also count the lugs: some 2009-2014 work trucks carry the rare 7-lug Heavy Duty Payload pattern, and 1997-2003 F-150 wheels are 5x135.
Ford F-150 Bolt Pattern by Generation
| Years | Bolt Pattern | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1975-1996 | 5x139.7 (5x5.5") | Classic 5-lug era |
| 1997-2003 | 5x135 mm | Five lugs, not six; easy to mistake in photos |
| 1997-2014 (HD Payload) | 7x150 mm | Rare 7-lug on Heavy Duty Payload Package trucks |
| 2004-2014 | 6x135 mm | This guide covers 2009-2014; 2004-2008 shares the pattern |
| 2015-2026 | 6x135 mm | Same pattern, different lug nuts; see our 2015-2020 guide |
Stock Wheels & Tires for the 2009-2014 F-150
Factory rubber depended on the wheel package, not the year. Every stock size lands around 30.5 to 32 inches tall, with one famous exception wearing 34s from the factory:
| Factory Wheel | Stock Tire Size | Overall Diameter | Typical Trims |
|---|---|---|---|
| 17 inch | 235/75R17 or 265/70R17 | 30.9" / 31.6" | XL / STX / base XLT |
| 18 inch | 265/60R18 | 30.5" | XLT / FX2 / FX4 / Lariat |
| 20 inch | 275/55R20 | 31.9" | Lariat / King Ranch / Platinum / FX |
| 22 inch | 275/45R22 | 31.7" | Harley-Davidson / Limited editions |
| 17x8.5 (Raptor) | 315/70R17 | 34.4" | 2010-2014 SVT Raptor only |
Notice the pattern: bigger factory wheel, shorter sidewall, same overall height. That's why swapping to a taller aftermarket tire changes the truck's whole presence. The other lever is offset. Factory wheels sit high in the +40s and hide in the fenders; the popular setups below run zero to negative offset for a stance Ford never offered. Our wheel offset guide explains the numbers.
What Fits at Every Suspension Height
These setups come from real customer trucks: combinations we know clear because they're already on the road. Popular brands for this platform include Fuel, Vision, Moto Metal, Hostile, ARKON OFF-ROAD, and Gear Off-Road.
2011 Ford F-150 with 20x9 +0 Gear Big Block wheels and 285/55R20 Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires.
Stock Suspension Fitment
The most common setup for this generation on stock suspension is a set of 20x9 +0 wheels with 285/55R20 tires. The zero offset brings the wheels out to the fender line, and the 285 adds real width over any factory size without rubbing.
- Small wheel, big tire: 18x9 +18 wheels with 275/65R18 tires
- Daily driver: 20x9 +0 wheels with 285/55R20 tires
- Big wheel: We don't recommend running wheels larger than 20 inches on stock suspension.
2014 Ford F-150 with 20x10 -25 ARKON OFF-ROAD Caesar wheels and 33x12.5R20 tires.
Leveling Kit Fitment
A leveling kit is the most popular first upgrade on these trucks, and on this platform it punches above its weight: true 33s fit with just a level. The go-to package is 20x10 -25 wheels with 33x12.5R20 tires.
- Small wheel, big tire: 18x9 +18 wheels with 33x12.5R18 tires
- Daily driver: 20x10 -25 wheels with 33x12.5R20 tires
- Big wheel, small tire: 22x10 -25 wheels with 305/40R22 tires (will require minor plastic trimming)
2011 Ford F-150 with 20x10 -12 Fuel Lethal wheels and 33x12.5R20 Toyo Open Country R/T tires.
3-Inch Lift Fitment
A 3 inch lift keeps the 33s and adds breathing room for wider, more aggressive wheels. The most popular setup at this height is 20x10 -12 wheels with 33x12.5R20 tires.
- Small wheel, big tire: 18x9 -12 wheels with 33x12.5R18 tires
- Daily driver: 20x10 -12 wheels with 33x12.5R20 tires
- Big wheel, small tire: 22x10 -19 wheels with 33x12.5R22 tires
2013 Ford F-150 with 22x10 -25 Hostile Alpha wheels and 35x12.5R22 Cooper Discoverer STT Pro tires.
4-6 Inch Lift Fitment
With a 4-6 inch lift, this truck goes full statement piece. Wheels over 10 inches wide clear without major surgery and 35s become daily-drivable. The crowd favorite here: 22x10 -25 wheels with 35x12.5R22 tires.
- Small wheel, big tire: 18x9 -12 wheels with 35x12.5R18 tires
- Daily driver: 22x10 -25 wheels with 35x12.5R22 tires
- Big wheel, small tire: 24x14 -76 wheels with 35x12.5R24 tires (6 inch lift and plastic trimming required)
Max Tire Size at Every Height
The question behind every question: how big can I go? Here's the honest answer for a 2009-2014 F-150, height by height:
| Suspension | Comfortable Max | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Stock | 285/55R20 (~32.3") | No rubbing, no trimming. The safe ceiling |
| Leveling kit | 33x12.5 (33") | True 33s clear with just a level; wide 22s need minor trimming |
| 3" lift | 33x12.5 (33") | Adds room for wide, negative offset wheels under the 33s |
| 4-6" lift | 35x12.5 (35") | 35s daily-drivable; 24x14 monsters need 6" and trimming |

What is the bolt pattern on a 2009-2014 Ford F-150?
Every 2009-2014 Ford F-150 uses a 6x135 mm bolt pattern with an 87.1 mm hub bore. That includes 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 models in every cab and trim, from the XL to the Platinum to the Raptor. Only the rare Heavy Duty Payload Package trucks differ, with a 7-lug 7x150 pattern.
Is the lug pattern the same on a 2013 and 2014 F-150?
Yes. The 2013 and 2014 F-150 share the exact same 6x135 lug pattern, along with every other truck in the 2009-2014 generation. In fact, every F-150 from 2004 to today uses 6x135, so wheels interchange across a huge range of years as long as offset and tire size suit your suspension.
What size lug nuts does a 2009-2014 F-150 use?
The 2009-2014 F-150 uses M14x2.0 lug nuts torqued to 150 lb-ft. Be careful when buying replacements: Ford switched to a finer M14x1.5 thread in 2015, and the two do not mix. Using the wrong thread pitch can strip your wheel studs, so match M14x2.0 for this generation.
What size tires come stock on a 2009-2014 F-150?
Depending on trim, a 2009-2014 F-150 came stock with 235/75R17, 265/70R17, 265/60R18, 275/55R20, or 275/45R22 tires, all roughly 30.5 to 32 inches tall. The 2010-2014 SVT Raptor is the outlier, wearing 315/70R17 tires at about 34.4 inches.
What is the biggest tire that fits a stock 2009-2014 F-150?
The biggest tire that fits a stock 2009-2014 F-150 without rubbing is about 32.3 inches, and 285/55R20 on a 20x9 +0 wheel is the proven combination. Add a simple leveling kit and true 33s like a 33x12.5R20 clear comfortably, which is why the level is this truck's most popular first upgrade.
Do 2015 and newer F-150 wheels fit a 2009-2014 F-150?
Yes. The 2015 and newer F-150 kept the same 6x135 bolt pattern and 87.1 mm hub bore, so the wheels bolt right up in either direction. Keep your own lug nuts though: 2015+ trucks use a finer M14x1.5 thread that will not work on your M14x2.0 studs.
